Bonnie

You don’t need to cry, within a screaming gale, let others wonder why, consult with holy stones, listen to their tales, when you grasp alone, study these battered times, all of its a trial, ride again the bycycle, forget having to atone, if lovers wail, you're far from home, sail kites to the sky, think of road and rail, leave to all on high, take tea like Mrs Jones, discard desolate mail, throw yourself a bone, doesn't hurt to try, laugh on lonely trails, always be a butterfly, dancing never fails.

Anna

Her manner never cool, many a life she’d shout, has been unlistened to, crashing like the sea, an artist on the lookout, she’s still pretty green, doesn’t need a muse, creates what's all about, won't suffer fools, she walks down the street, give you anything she has, throws anyone her keys, lipstick lemon blue, her skin golden brown, hasn't been to art school, instead a loving need, those who haven't got, brings a sense of ease, provides our daily laughs, smiles as warm as toast, will always want to ask, how is your soul?

Zoe

Rain broken afternoon, offers no insight, or makes me look cool, here in this game, a race for my life, wonder who holds the reins, I act like a fool, peparing what's right, must stop what am doing, now the eyes feel pain, my head's like a firefly, how did it get this way, it all seems so futile, I'm wasting my time, my face a lost duel, then someone brings wine, says let's party again, make for the beeline, won't ask for new shoes, jump in the fire, dance like a mule, scream until bedtime.

Zaylee

I'm never a girl, who curses and blasts, my mind in a whirl, a face like a stone, I'm built to last, best that you count on, don't treat me with furs, are all men trapped, want me in shiny skirts, I'll waltz like a ghost, dance until collapse, my lies are my own, your head's in a twirl, any present will pass, my prayers are always fair, why cry at the doorpost, drink green tea aghast, ask what I want most, please turn the flame down, if you cook with gas, say your heart's unfurled, avoid any crash.

Yara

Does what you can't find, make you think again, crack open the blinds, it's not worth it alone, there's too much pain, stay close to your own, you'll soon hear of me, standing in the rain, saying everything's fine, drenched to the bone, are you house trained in your torn worn clothes, why try to disguise, each day brings a claim, it adds to the distance, don't trust telephones, shall we play at games, love's got no real home, just stay here tonight, instead of a fast train, then leave at first light, we'll meet again.

Xanthe

Why dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, too drunk to speak, time to raise the stakes, risk being torn, the useless dates he makes, wait around for the seasons, twist my crown of thorns, am giving up on reason, want kids about the place, not being cast forlorn, why does he need breaks, don’t say I'm released, like he's been caught, running away to the sea, provide a hand that shakes, absence is his only call, I slump and vacillate, this isn't really me, jellied to the core, mouthing dumb tranquilities, no one ever loved.

Willa

Parade all the while, say you’re on the ball, ride the lonely miles, in your bones, you’re not here at all, no you are a Jonah, you left me to die, on your holy horse, said we didn’t have time, can you atone, when love turns to gall, must shame fill your bones, flip a coin to the sky, talk of beating the Fall, no worries about style, drink wine from a Jeroboam, hide behind some desolate wall, throw stones at my ghost, what it is to cry, we'll disregard your call, you're not here to lie, let others walk tall.
